One lap with...

BARC SEC: Ok green flags – lets go: how did your adventure with motorsport get started?Lee McNair: I have always been around cars what with my dad and uncles being car mad. I bought an unfinished racing Mini with my dad and good friend Phil Anning which we rebuilt then shared the driving duties in sprinting and hillclimbing and it snowballed from there.

BS: What is your dream motorsport event you want to take part in?L. M.: Macau touring car race.

BS: Hard braking now – are there any other sport disciplines you're familiar with?L. M.: Always try to watch Moto GP, athletics used to do a lot of it at school, and boxing.

BS: Racing is on weekends – what are you doing weekdays?L. M.: Building race, rally and track day cars for other people.
